The museum doesn't really have much facility. It was nice seeing some of the old real chains used back in the slave trade time. I kind of connected with history. The tour guide was pretty nice and know a lot about the history of the place. But the center is gradually losing its touch. It's quite small and a lot can still be done on the place. Badagry is a beautiful place but the government has a lot to play in promoting and preserving the history of this place and the families too have a part to play. It's a lovely experience anyways

Candidly, this place was epic for me. I saw life history how the slave trade start over 400 years ago. Badagry slave trade was 300 years older than Calabars. Mobee's Grave. The chains the used in the slaves, how slaves where gotten. How slaves were used as a medium of exchange for products or goods. Canoe movement from Moved Place to the river down to the place of no return. Spirit Water to format memory of the slaves and all that. This place was true school and education for me. I would advise school to take there student on a tour rather than teaching it in classroom because it will be so boring but at Mobee Royal Family Salves Relics Museum, it will be adventurous beyond your imagination.

Slave museum where relics of the infamous slave trade are preserved. Located at Marina road Badagry. It is in shambles today. The National tourism board and the Lagos state government should do something to rehabilitate it.

A historical place with information and detail that leaves you amazed and sad at the same time. A sobering experience knowing that people went through during the slave trade. A lot of history came to reality seeing and touching materials of the slave business. Recommended but not for the faint hearted.

It is rich in Africa, esp. Nigeria slave trade history. With original relics from the slave trade era. A tour guide is available to give a quick but detailed history of the slave trade in that region of Nigeria.

My being in the company of other members of Lagos Local Guides affords me the rare lifetime opportunity of reliving what slave trade was like - back in the days.

Here's one of Badagry's most important tourist site. It's a tiny room which tells the history of slave trade from the view point of Chief Mobee, one of the most powerful six white cap Chiefs in Badagry at the time. Chief Mobee was actually a popular and very influential chief who actively engaged in the slave trade during his reign. His real name does not have Mobee in it. It was a name he got during the slave era. You see, whenever the white slave traders came around, his default mode of welcoming them was by saying “e mu obi je”. A yoruba statement which loosely means pick cola nut and eat. He never fails to do this every time they come. And since the whites don’t really understand him, they started calling him chief “mu obi” which later transcended to Mobee and before long, the name stuck.
